There were 3 different. Upper ball joints among RWD Chrysler products.
They differed among the outer diameters of the threaded shell that held them in. That doesn't mean the machined taper portion that matches the machined taper in a given spindle changed. That I can't vouch for.
Same argument about the style of lower ball joints in 65-73 c bodies vs newer c bodies. So something like a Cordoba spindle maybe fine. The other place they may have differed is the height of the spindle.
I know that among other mopars people have been mixing and matching spindles to get the brakes they want and sometimes ride height differences for years without issue.
I know that is especially the case with A bodies between 9" drums, 10" drums and disc brakes. And the later a body, b body, f body etc swapping to the "big" (police, towing, HD) caliper brackets so that bigger "stock"rotors can also get swapped.
If I was in a bind and had to look for different brake stuff to swap into a 65-73 c body, the 1st place I'd try (yeah I know that lower control arms would have to swap too) would be off a 74-78 c body.
I know that rotors, calipers were the same between these and 2wd trucks and vans til 84, since 2wd trucks went to the bigger lug pattern starting in 85.
